WORKSHOP with Marijonas Verbel
\nMarijonas Verbel is a textile artist who works in weaving, and is coming to the Verp\u0117jos art residency in October. They is fascinated by processes, play, synesthesia and unexpected ways of putting things together. Marijonas is constantly trying to turn their observations into fun and playful works. Artistic practice relies on the relationship between time and work, as well as playing on the fine line between craft and art. In their work, they aim to reuse discarded materials, from hair to car parts, emphasizing the history of the creative process.
\nWeaving workshop using cardboard as a base. During the workshop, it will be presented how you can weave at home \u2013 using cardboard. Participants will be taught the basics of weaving. Everyone who comes will have the direction in which they want to move: there will be an opportunity to weave coasters for cups, tabs, or use various materials for weaving experiments. Participants are welcome to bring their own thread and blunt needles.<\/p>\n

\nAndrej Polukord (b. 1990 in Vilnius, Lithuania) works in Vilnius. He works in painting, installation, performance, photography and video art. Using humor, physical adventure and storytelling, his work explores the themes of everyday life, ecology, and the relationship between man and nature. Polukord creates unstable environments and absurd situations that cause unpredictable consequences, double meanings and ambiguities.
